“I've always loved the blues, ever since I was a kid. It has a depth to it that a lot of contemporary music doesn't have. It has pain and suffering in it, but funny stories, too. And it is built on storytelling, which is something I really love.” StoriesKidsPainSufferingBuiltDepthContemporaryStorytellingPain And SufferingFunny StoryContemporary Music Author:Nickolas Ashford
“History is not the story of heroes entirely. It is often the story of cruelty and injustice and shortsightedness. There are monsters, there is evil, there is betrayal. That's why people should read Shakespeare and Dickens as well as history ~~ they will find the best, the worst, the height of noble attainment and the depths of depravity.” PeopleShouldWellsBookStoriesEvilReadingWorstHeroDepthInjusticeBetrayalNobleMonstersCrueltyHeightAttainmentDepravityDickensBooks And Reading Author:David McCullough
“I believe a good writer can write a good book with any sort of character, in any sort of setting, but I prefer to write about the outsider. It might just be because I've been one (or perceived myself to be one) for so much of my life. But the simple fact of being marginalized immediately brings conflict to a story before the narrative even begins, and that's gold for a writer because it means that your character already has depth before events begin to unfold.” WritingBelieveMeanBookCharacterFactsStoriesMightI BelieveSimpleEventsConflictGoldDepthSettingSettingsNarrativeOutsidersGood BookGood WritersMarginalized Author:Charles de Lint
“Stories are best when they 'emerge' from the depths, and when built in a painting from early sketch through the three-act process to The End, it is a perfect pathway to the unconscious stories set in our dreamwork.” EndsStoriesThreeProcessPerfectPaintingBuiltDepthUnconsciousPathwaysDreamworks Author:Billy Cannon
“Elizabeth Turnage is a woman of grit and grace who lives into the stories of those who join her in this odd journey of seeking God. She honors the complexity of life without ever losing sight of the simple glory of the cross. Her grasp of the mundane and miraculous and their interplay gives a depth and honesty to her story that tugs at the heart and gives us hope our story can matter.

“We underestimate teenagers at our peril. Even the dismissive thing out on the street--look at what they're wearing. Then we'll hear stories about how a toddler fell on the tracks, and it's often a teenager who comes to the rescue and walks away because he or she doesn't want any credit. I recognize it because I've written books for teenagers--it's basically that they feel things more than adults do. They want things more than you think. They want things with greater depth than you think they do. Teenagers have got a lot of soul that adults have forgotten they have within themselves.” ThinkingWantFeelsLooksBookSoulStoriesWalksGreaterWrittenStreetsAdultsDepthForgottenTrackCreditTeenagerRescueUnderestimatePerilToddler Author:Markus Zusak
